行報名上冊的事。
3 眾人各歸各城、報名上冊。
4 約瑟也從加利利的拿撒勒城上猶太去、到
了大衛的城、名叫伯利恆、因他本是大衛
一族一家的人．
5 要和他所聘之妻馬利亞、一同報名上冊．
那時馬利亞的身孕已經重了。

3. 路 加 福 音 2: 1-14
6 他們在那裡的時候、馬利亞的產期到了。
7 就生了頭胎的兒子、用布包起來、放在馬
槽裡、因為客店裡沒有地方。
8 在伯利恆之野地裡有牧羊的人、夜間按著
更次看守羊群。
9 有主的使者站在他們旁邊、主的榮光四面
照著他們．牧羊的人就甚懼怕。
10 那 天 使 對 他 們 說 、 不 要 懼 怕 、 我 報 給 你
們大喜的信息、是關乎萬民的．

4. 路 加 福 音 2: 1-14
11 因 今 天 在 大 衛 的 城 裡 、 為 你 們 生 了 救 主 、 就

13 忽 然 有 一 大 隊 天 兵 、 同 那 天 使 讚 美 神說、
14 在 至 高 之 處 榮 耀 歸 與 神 、 在 地 上 平 安 歸 與 他
所喜悅的人。［有古卷作喜悅歸與人］

5. Luke 2: 1-14
1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a
census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius
was governor of Syria.)
3 And everyone went to his own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in
Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David,
because he belonged to the house and line of David.
5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to
be married to him and was expecting a child.

6. Luke 2: 1-14
6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be
born,
7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped
him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there
was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby,
keeping watch over their flocks at night.
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of
the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 But the angel said to them, quot;Do not be afraid. I bring you
good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

7. Luke 2: 1-14
11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to
you; he is Christ[a] the Lord.
12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in
cloths and lying in a manger.quot;
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host
appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 quot;Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.quot;

13. 神卻揀選了世上愚拙的、叫有智慧的
羞愧．又揀選了世上軟弱的、叫那強
壯的羞愧． 神也揀選了世上卑賤的
、被人厭惡的、以及那無有的、為要
廢掉那有的． 使一切有血氣的、在
神 面 前 一 個 也 不 能 自 誇 。(林 前 1:27-29)
But God chose the foolish things of the world
to shame the wise; God chose the weak
things of the world to shame the strong. He
chose the lowly things of this world and the
despised things—and the things that are not—
to nullify the things that are, so that no one
may boast before him. (Corinthians1 1:27-29)
牧羊的人回去了．因所聽見所看見的
一切事、正如天使向他們所說的、就
歸榮耀與 神 、 讚 美 他 。(路2:20)
The shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things they had heard
and seen, which were just as they had been
told.(Luke 2:20)
